WHERE ELEPHANTS GO

WHERE ELEPHANTS GO is a film in which no elephant appears. It is a story of love and friendship between three characters in a difficult moment of their existence: Leni, a sick little girl, but at the same time full of life; Marcel, a young man with suicidal tendencies for no reason or perhaps for all the reasons in the world; Magda, a mother who tries to forget that life is terrible. WHERE ELEPHANTS GO is a pseudo-melodrama, a puzzle film that the viewers are invited to decipher. And it's a comedy... or almost a comedy.
